Menú - The image shows a black chalkboard menu at Jive Cafe, featuring breakfast sandwiches, omelets, and pancakes. Items include egg sandwiches with bacon, sausage, or ham, and various omelets with ingredients like ham, cheese, and vegetables. Prices are handwritten in red and white chalk, with some items marked as gluten-free or served with toast. The menu also promotes following the cafe on Instagram and includes a note about food allergies. A small sign below the board reads 'Order Here.'

Walked in for a quick bite between games at Dreams. Veggie and cheese sandwich was freshly made and delicious. Egg, bacon and cheese with toast was very good and filling. Iced coffee and raspberry latte were good tasting. The food options are just right. Enjoyed our dining experience. Highly recommend if in th

Rueben Egg Sandwich
Joe E.

My son and I both loved out breakfast sandwiches. Got the rueben & egg (unreal) as well as a bacon, egg & cheese. Great little dive!

So good had to take a bite before taking a picture - A partially eaten sandwich with scrambled eggs, cheese, and slices of bacon or ham on a round, beige plate. The sandwich bread appears toasted and soft. In the background, there is a small container of sauce, a paper napkin, and other plates with food. The setting suggests a casual dining environment, possibly a cafe or breakfast spot.

Nice place just outside of Cooperstown. Alot of locals visit this place for good reason. My jalapeño bacon and egg sandwich was great. The bread really made it. The pancakes were really good with local maple syrup. Grab some coffee as well super fresh. Enjoy

We really enjoyed our breakfast here! Great and friendly customer service along with tasty food where it is clear they appreciate both their 'regular' customers, greeting them by name, and first timers like us. Highly recommend the egg breakfast sandwiches on ciabatta!

Where's the sauerkraut and Russian dressing in your Reuben? Why are the drinks served in plastic? Paper plates? Really?

Super cute cafe with the kind of thin crepe-like pancakes I love. Coffee was excellent, service was great. Nice little neighborhood spot.

Cooley's Stone House Tavern - Smoked Beef Brisket on a Pretzel Bun

The fried pickles are worth the visit!! The food order almost didn't happen, as I walked in early…read morein the evening on Valentine's Day. There is a bar as well as booth seating but no direction or indication of waiting to be seated or seating yourself. I didn't want to go unnoticed so I sat at the bar. (Most of the tables are past the entry way and bar area). There was a family group, a few couples and a group of guys playing darts off to the side. I sat there for more than five minutes before I was even acknowledged. I know this because I could see the Guinness Countdown to St Patrick's Day (down to the second) from my seat. There were 3 girls behind the bar but one seemed to be doing most of the bar work. As I put on my jacket to leave, I finally had the attention of one of the girls so I decided to take my chances and stick with my dinner plan. She got me a menu and asked for my drink order. There weren't any hard ciders on tap but they did have canned Awestruck (local). I noticed the fried pickle appetizer and asked her about it. She told me they were spears and very popular. I decided to take her recommendation and ordered them, along with a Cooley's Handmade Burger with sautéed mushrooms and swiss cheese. My pickle fries came out first since they were an app and I can tell you two things about them...the portion was huge and they were absolutely the best I've ever had! Not long afterward, my burger arrived and that was really tasty as well. I opted to bring the rest of my pickles home and I can tell you that even the next day, with the help of the air fryer, they were still tasting great! I am so glad I stayed!

A great pub/tavern vibe with a really good bar menu. I've been there several times and never been…read moredisappointed. The burgers are my favorite, but if you like a good salad they have some good choices as well, not just some lettuce and tomatoes thrown in a bowl. The Jersey Burger is my favorite, but it's very messy (burger with pork roll and a fried egg). The staff is friendly and the place just feels like a real bar.

The Glimmerglass at the Otesaga Hotel in Resort in Cooperstown is a throwback to the old style…read moreelite hotel dining. Unfortunately, it is no longer appreciated for it's greatness as times have changed. As a Resort Guest, I had the breakfast option which was a great choice to enjoy such elite dining on premises. Convenient and top notch. In the times I visited (July 2021) it was trailing to the end of the COVID nightmare (but before Delta) and the buffet was open and full quality was there. About all a guest could notice was the diligent wearing of masks by staff. The buffet was as good as you can get. Full fruit and Continental options, or hot eggs, meats, potatoes, biscuits, and gravy. And eggs/omelets made to order. The only drawback was that I didn't want to over eat to start the day. needed a second stomach. Upon sitting the wait staff gets any drink you need (coffee/juices) as part of my breakfast included price. I was only brought a check at the end for a gratuity. Some uneven service getting to drinks quickly but it wasn't hard to get their attention if needed. There is a fancy dining room (I dropped a couple of photos) and a nice outdoor patio facing the lake. The outdoor seemed to fill up first albeit the weather was near perfect so can't blame. A point of confusion was logistics and dress code. Upon check in, the desk clerk let me know where it was and strongly advised a reservation and let me know it was fine dining and dress code was appreciated. Not knowing what time I wanted to eat I called late and no answer. I called restaurant services when I woke up and was forwarded to the casual dinner restaurant. I called the desk and had them transfer me, same as just calling, forwarded to casual not answered. No worry, I arrived and they had the guests on a list and it wasn't crowded enough to be an issue. Other thing was dress code. Some things I'd read in the literature was no sports gear, no hats, etc. Since most of the patrons were at the hotel for recreation (kids baseball tournaments, Hall of Fame, etc.) I didn't think wearing a T-shirt and tennis shoes would be an issue. It wasn't. Just don't wear swimwear. At the time I went it was breakfast only. If and when it opens for dinner do not listen to this advice and discuss with the management. Really nothing wrong here, can't withhold even a star. If you stay here, eat here. If the cost is too much, then find a place in your range but you won't beat the quality. This buffet was as good as it gets.

Timeless elegance of a bygone era paired with impeccably charming and attentive service and…read moreexceptional cuisine. Real silverware. And the VIEWS! Every angle provides a feast for the eyes. I absolutely adore this place.
